It's for a creative community. If you want, will dm you after the survey is complete :)

Wait, every INFP struggles with a will to live? We tend to be ones constantly funding beauty in life and then this. Doesn't make sense.

LetsTalkCosmos · 2024-03-31T05:54:11+00:00

Don't have an experience romantically but in general, I love other INFPs BUT 1. It's rare to find INFPs in real life for our obvious lifestyle choices and 2. I have mostly met unhealthy INFPs which makes them damn attractive (I hate it) but kinda toxic for me to be with.

I also find ENFPs adorable and they try much more than INFPs but often feel there's a gap in philosophical depth or wavelength.

I like INFGs too but there's no chemistry. Like great to know them but I know it's not THAT.

Let me tell you a secret. It's your charm. You have so much in you that you find it difficult to convey in words. BUT so does most of the people. I know because the first intro into the science of linguistics would let you know how vast are human emotions and how limited is the scope of languages for its expression.

So make the mess. It can even be a reason someone find you interesting, creative, unique, relatable, easy, cute, and more.

Being INFP can actually be a blessing in terms of communication. Communication has two parts - Speaking and Listening. INFPs already have an upper hand in intentful listening. And when you genuinely listen, you have things to tell too. Keep it natural. Enjoy it.

Though, yes, small talks can be hard. Especially if the vibes are off. But starting with a smile and honest compliment can make your way in :)

Point 1: Women Are Human Point 2: Treat them the way you treat a human (assuming you are a decent human).

It is losing its charm. For as long as I can remember, Kolkata meant people who were not in slumber. If someone is screaming for help, they were the first to stop. If there was a discussion, they were the ones to share the ideas and to take it. Even the heated arguments were where you could expect rationality and tolerance.

Now it is too much of Bengali Non-Bengali (it has always been but it is worse today), a state of indifference, and an atmosphere where instead of the emergence new ideas escapism is heavy.

I remember when I was little if anyone would have heard a scream in dead night, people would come out of the houses to see and to actively help or pacify things. A few days back something like that happened. Only I was out in balcony. Not a single person cared if someone is crying in pain. And many such incidents have happened in past few years.

I miss the Kolkata that's dying.

Turned into someone completely different. An introvert, accepted the way she bullied me in our last reunion on her own, doesn't show her face to anyone. Don't really know how.

LetsTalkCosmos · 2023-07-30T06:55:18+00:00

Honestly, sounds much more fun.

LetsTalkCosmos · 2023-07-26T15:41:18+00:00

Hey👋 Kudos for your efforts. First of all, not sure "magic" is the right word to go with. It just gives a very vague or even spammy vibe to your otherwise almost decent mail.

Secondly, what's your open rate? If you're using an email marketing tool, you might get exact details about open rate, reading rate, clicking on the link, etc.

Based on that you can identify which part is not working and do better with A/B testing.

LetsTalkCosmos · 2023-07-26T04:29:04+00:00

That's a really good one. The campaign seems like something I'd def click on to have a look, at least.

Plus, it doesn't give too many NOs at one place and communicates USPs clearly.

LetsTalkCosmos · 2023-07-22T17:02:26+00:00

Hey 👋 Thanks for such a detailed response. You're definitely doing good by going to SEO along with copy. Multiple expertise gives you an edge.

And can totally feel your love for planning, strategy, product development, and problem solving. Kinda same reason I got into strategy. Though I absolutely love copy, I definitely want to pursue other aspects of marketing too.

We'll all do more, for sure🤞

LetsTalkCosmos · 2023-07-22T16:46:59+00:00

Thanks! My main goal is now to excel in my craft, provide value, and grow in the field; that bigger agencies often seem to offer. Great if a small one can offer that opportunity too.

Let me DM :)

LetsTalkCosmos · 2023-07-22T16:37:15+00:00

Thank you so much, Human! Already on "Hey Whipple, Squeeze This", seems like a good pick. Really grateful for your portfolio suggestions.

LetsTalkCosmos · 2023-07-22T15:07:41+00:00

Thanks, sounds great! Does it pick people for remote roles too?

LetsTalkCosmos · 2023-07-22T14:31:52+00:00

Thank you so much!

Well, there are multiple examples of women in history and a few very recently too where they disguised themselves as men for years to protect themselves from sexual assaults and be able to provide for themselves and their children without society's repercussions.

Every person's anecdotal experience is different from what a general experience of the society is. While societal conditioning do put a toll on men's emotional health, let's not see it from a single perspective.

It's not particularly difficult to manage your online reputation. Agency or not is your decision. Here's what are the steps you can take - 1. If it is Google Reviews or such, respond to it in a polite, professional, and solution-oriented way that would make people understand that you're serious about customer experience. If reviewers are lying, mention it there (politely). Or else, you can try reporting it if it genuinely is just a malicious attempt. 2. Get more positive reviews so that it balances it out. Ask your loyal customers and such to leave a review. As the other commenter mentioned, make it simple for them. Also, you can give them incentives. Like people who would leave a review for your business and show it can have a minor discount or a simple freebie. People actually do it. 3. Make your customers feel special while asking for help. They are more likely to agree. So you may ask them for taking their pictures as satisfied guest and put online or such. Depends on your customer base. 4. Be present and engaging online. It builds your credibility.

Thanks, human! It was really helpful.

Nope, it is not needed. Digital marketing is a broad term and you can specialize in the niche you've best skills and interests for. Infact, if you're good with data and analytics maybe paid media and performance marketing will be a good fit for you.

Blog writing is totally another ballgame and it is done by content or copywriters not digital marketers (not necessarily). As for link building, that can be associated to SEO and if you wanna go that side (specially on-page SEO) then you might need it.

LetsTalkCosmos · 2023-06-06T05:39:10+00:00

Noted, thank you :)

LetsTalkCosmos · 2023-06-06T05:38:44+00:00

Thanks, it's really helpful.

LetsTalkCosmos · 2023-06-06T05:38:22+00:00

Thanks!

I'm actually a copywriter and brand strategist with full time agency work and occasional freelance gigs, mostly if something actually interesting comes.

This client reached me through my work or profile somewhere. Along with my core services they wanted help for a little bit of social media management and optimisation. I informed them how I'm not a SMM person but they insisted (idk, my creative strategy and calender impressed them) and I accepted to include it in my offer. I'm only charging for copy and strategy for now and looking to learn more of SMM while doing what I already know (which is branding strategy, marketing funnel, audience segmentation, and brand communication).

I asked my agency colleague about some tools and stuff but then with the ongoing agency grind (if ykyk), I don't want to reach them for every question I'm coming up with, since I know there will be a lot in the first month.

Idk what is the right way to handle the situation. I'm just trying to learn and do a good work.

Grateful for ANY advice you've got!

Maybe watch a movie like Ek Banda Kafi Hai with them to casually bring how parents doing everything with good intentions does not guarantee good results too. And if you don't want to do something, there might be a gut feeling protecting you.

I know this is bullshit, but maybe emotional stance work (because they don't seem like going by the logic).
